try starting it, and it should be set to automatic if you ever do any burning 

Ok...I'll give it a shot, but it isn't started on the other machines... 

no go... 

eh, it was worth a try

try the opposite of pretty much all this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715 

Thanks, DPG

But no go still.

I have checked registry settings, gpedit, etc....everything is configured the way it should be.

It's probably something stupid/simple 

ummm...have you checked the autoplay tab under the drive properties in my computer? That's pretty stupid/simple. 

best way to check browsing history, time and date on FF. 

Ctrl-H? 

So if anyone was following, it looks like the issue to my crashing problem was a bad video driver. 

Thanks! 

Does anyone know how to easily convert an swf or flv file to an avi or mpg? I need an easy way to insert swf and flv files into Powerpoint for my sister. There is a way to do it now but it's impossible to explain it to her, and to be honest it wasn't working for me when I tried it.

This is the way I tried. 

When using a second monitor with a laptop, anyone know if it's possible to orient the screens such that one is on top of the other, rather than next to it? 

Just kidding - apparently my setup program is just extremely finnicky with how you place them.

Asshole. 

Yes you can if your video driver can support it.
Get into your Display Properties panel (right-click the background and click properties)
Click the settings tab.
If it's showing 2 monitors you can just click and drag the monitors around to where you want them. 

Anybody have any experience with document management software?

I have a thousand PDFs and my folder system is brutal to work with. Anybody use a program to manage scans like this? 

i've dicked with benubird
it was ok 

any gripes? 

not really, it was pretty good at what it did 

you can create collections and 1 file can be part of more than 1
which gets rid of dupes 

That sounds sweet.
Thanks man, this is pretty exactly what I'm looking for. 

Thanks Calvin, something must be screwed up with the file I'm working on :\ 

chrome chrome chrome chrome chrome 

I tried to click on those graphs but Firefox crashed. 

They all basically say that chrome hauls 10 different kinds of ass on XP. 

it's ok 

I'd use Chrome more if they had an ad blocking extension. Also waiting for the bookmark manager on the Mac version. 

I just installed windows 7 from window vista. Now the vertical scroll on my laptop's touchpad does not work

It's a synaptic touchpad and I downloaded the updated driver already. Any other way to fix this or do I have to live with it? 

DO NOT TELL IT YOU'RE IN MED SCHOOL 

IT'S TOO LATE I ALREADY DID. NOW IT WROTE ME A LETTER ABOUT HOW IT MISSES THE WAY I USED TO STROKE IT VERTICALLY. 

Is there a way to download a 3D model of a building from Google Earth into Sketchup? 

Google says that info is licensed and thus can't be downloaded from G.E. 

I didn't say "legally". Besides, if I upload a model to G.E. do they take ownership of it? 

ummm...have you checked the autoplay tab under the drive properties in my computer? That's pretty stupid/simple.

yes, that was checked. I even found a microsoft utility called autofix. Even that didn't work.

I'm stumped.

Maybe try removing the device in device manager, rebooting, and letting it find it again? 

Today while I was driving home I got an email on my Blackberry. It was an important answer I had been waiting on so I read it and figured I would reply to it when I got home. I get home, sign on the VPN, open Outlook and the email is not there. Check the BlackBerry and it is not there either. I know I didn't imagine it (not drinking yet) so on a whim I check WebMail and there it is. What could have caused it to disappear from the other 2 locations but still show on Webmail?  

check the view current view settings on your outlook 

I feel there is wisdom in your words but I am not certain of how to proceed. I looked at the current view settings and could not see how they would affect this. 

view, arrange by, down at the bottom it says current view, custom view, there's a button there that says "reset current view" 

is the blackberry directly tied to your work account or is it forwarded? 

does ad block plus not have some method for saying "here is a pop up. make it so it never comes up again"? 

No, but NoScript will block most pop ups by blocking javascript. 

My roommates computer goes to a black screen after the windows loading screen.
And it just stays there.
I popped in a winxp disk and did repair and the problem is still there.
What do I try next?
I checked to make sure the ram and HD were seated properly, and have also tried fixboot from the recovery console. 

i dont want to use noscript. thats like using a elephant gun to kill a fly 

miscreant, does it do it in safe mode?

It is forwarded. We don't have a BlackBerry server.

Unless I am more blind than I think I don't have that option available. I'm using Outlook 2003. 

neither do we fuck them they want 6 grand
your phone is probably a verizon account
why your outlook didn't show it
not sure
maybe a view rule or a rule that moved it to a different folder and you were looking at different folders in webmail and outlook
